Former CAPP president Alvarez joins Global Public Affairs

The former president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) has joined Global Public Affairs.

The company introduced Pierre Alvarez as its new vice-chair on Thursday.

From Calgary, Alvarez will assist Global’s clients in their dealings with the public, as well as with other firms — including those in the energy sector.

“Pierre’s extensive knowledge and ability to navigate the most senior levels of both government and private sector will be a tremendous resource for Global’s clients,” said Randy Pettipas, president and CEO of Global, in a release.

Alvarez previously headed the Northwest Territories Power Corporation, and served as deputy minister to the Premier of the Northwest Territories in Yellowknife. He has also worked as a staffer and consultant in Ottawa, according to a press release.
